oh, Russell...I think you and egggray are going to have to have a showdown here someday if this keeps up..this is super..excellent job from an excellent friend. Keep mentoring by example :)
I love this; this is sooo beautiful! Perfect pose for the bird, perfect branch for silhouette, nice grey in the background gives it a soft mood. It's a great shot! One of the bed things about winter is the return of the Chickadees.. their chirping and flitting about is so cheery, especially on grey days. cheers, Quiet
Now that's a Chickadee pic to admire ... no question about it. I could be slightly biased being a bird lover ... but putting that aside ... it's just great photography ... PERIOD!!!
Great Posting Russell
Great lighting and composition. A simple framing without clutter and the main object nicely highlighted. The background is subdued to add to the main subject. Excellent!!!
With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves. (Eric Hoffer)
